Hi Families! My name is Jo, and I have over 15 years of experience in childcare for all ages. My past experiences have been with wonderful families who have welcomed me as an addition to their family. I took excellent care of the children and completed all the duties the position required on time. I consider myself a very reliable, trustworthy, honest, patient, and punctual person who puts a hundred percent into whatever the job requirements are. My strong references from my previous employers will prove that I would be a great fit for your family. I have a very energetic personality and multitasking is not an issue for me. I enjoy keeping your child happy at all times as that is an important factor to me as well as safety and wellbeing which I prioritize. Being an addition to your family is not just a job for me, it is my passion in childcare.

Hello, my name is Tashauna Mitchell. I have over 12 years of experience working as a caretaker, nanny, and babysitter, providing dependable and compassionate support for children from infancy through adolescence as well as for individuals who require additional care. I am CPR certified and currently pursuing an Associate Degree in Psychology at Bergen Community College, where I have completed extensive coursework in Child Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Lifespan Development, and Adolescent Behavior.

My services include light housekeeping, meal preparation, cooking, laundry, tutoring and homework help, feeding, diaper changing, and both overnight and date-night babysitting. I’m comfortable providing last-minute or on-call care, ensuring peace of mind for families. I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment that fosters positive development and well-being. Please feel free to contact me at eight six two - three three six - two five eight six (862-336-2586) for references, more information about my experience, or to discuss how I can best serve your family’s needs.

My name is Yasmin. Responsibility and kindness are my most defining qualities. I come from a large family and helped raise many of my nieces and nephews from their birth. I can understand, with you as the parent, the need to feel safe and secure with your children's baby sitter. So you can thoroughly enjoy your night out. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, even if that means having to clean a dirty diaper or two. When I'm together with your children, firstly, I will follow your instructions to the letter and, if I have any questions, we will use our pre-arranged contact plan. I am happy to keep your children's playtime active; toys, coloring, games, story-telling, television (if they are allowed to watch), listening to music, and, most importantly, letting them guide our activities. Seeing a child go to bed with a smile on their face really warms my heart. I have knowledge about development milestones. Also, I am available to give Spanish lessons in person or virtual. Thank you for considering me as your next babysitter.

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training • Master’s Degree in Elementary Education • Certified Lifeguard (past) • CPR & First Aid knowledge • Strong classroom management and communication skills • Experience with children from infants to pre-teens I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.

Hi and welcome!! My name is Mia and I am graduate of American University with a BS in Public Health. I not only love, but have ample experience in working with children from various age groups. Most of my experience lies with toddlers as a nanny for high profile clientele, and during my time at Woodlin Child Development Center as a child care aide. Additionally, I've also tutored elementary/middle school age children as a fellow with Teach for America for several years. I am also comfortable with driving, with pets and food and tailored lesson plan preparation if need be. For a long time, I have wanted to pursue pediatrics so I have a great interest and passion for working with children and truly love every experience I get when it comes to educating and spending time with young ones. As for my availability at the moment, I am currently very flexible as I prepare to return to school. Please do reach out if you feel we are a fit! My best contact email is afomiafelleke@gmail.com or text/call at 301-793-7133.

My name is Lam, and I have 4 years of experience caring for toddlers and preschoolers.

About Me: I love my job and always try my best to connect with children through fun and educational activities—such as critical thinking games and craft projects. Discipline Philosophy: I follow a gentle and respectful approach, using three steps: 1. Kind words 2. Quiet time-outs to help the child calm down 3. Encouraging the use of manners (excuse me, sorry, please, thank you, and you’re welcome) My goal is to support children in developing strong, independent, and kind personalities, helping them understand what they want and how to go after it.
